## What it is
Glamour is a Go library for rendering Markdown documents with styled, colorful output on ANSI-compatible terminals using stylesheets. It offers built-in styles like 'dark' and 'light' and supports custom stylesheets and word wrapping.

## Use cases
- render markdown files nicely in the terminal
- display formatted README output in a CLI tool
- style markdown help text in a Go command-line app
- pretty-print markdown changelogs in a TUI
- render markdown templates with custom styles

## When to avoid
- you need markdown rendering in a non-Go language
- you need HTML or PDF output rather than ANSI terminal text
- you need automatic terminal color capability detection (use Lip Gloss alongside)

## Facets
- artifact type: library

- function: markdown, templating, cli, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, documentation
- platform: windows, cross-platform, go, cli
